Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.

Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!

<wisdom sets in>: Perhaps I should learn this OpenSCAD thing or maybe FreeCAD. Then I would have all the fancy features and I’d never have to worry about paying for such software.

Actually, there exists no commercial equivalent to OpenSCAD that I’m aware of. Those doing generative design via code in industry are already using OpenSCAD or they’re using truly custom stuff.

Pro tip: Use the latest nightly build of OpenSCAD from their website and enable the new features that speed up rendering times by like 1000% 👍

The manifold renderer is a game changer. I seriously didn’t like OpenSCAD before that.
